1864 $3 PR64 Ultra Cameo NGC. Just 50 proofs were struck of
this desirable Civil War date, along with a miserly production of
2,630 business strikes. Proofs are distinguished with little
difficulty from their prooflike commercial counterparts. The proofs
have a perfect date, while the 18 is repunched on the business
strikes. The date is placed slightly further left on the proofs.
The present pinpoint-sharp example features luminous devices that
exhibit obvious contrast with the prominently mirrored fields. A
number of tiny surface marks are noted on the reverse field near
the wreath, beneath the bow, above the 3, and along the outer right
border. A small mint-made planchet flaw near the ER in AMERICA will
identify any future appearances of this significant piece. A long,
thin lint mark near F in OF will serve as a secondary
identifier.From The Lake Highlands Collection.(Registry
